Look for late May, early June.

There will only be a spring TECORE this year, if any - still trying to feel it all out.

If you are planning on doing any wheeling with the East Coast folks, or even with us in IN, it may be a good idea to get your entire lift done at one time rather then wait for the suspension lift to be done in FL by Mark. Since Indy is your first stop, I would suggest we go ahead and do both suspension and body lifts at that time, and you get your tires mounted then. I don't have any issue with tackling both lifts, and the suspension is pretty simple anyway. Just a thought....
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

I will have both lifts on my truck by the time I leave IN lol. I got a second hand sus lift I will be putting on in AZ before I leave. So By the time that I leave IN I will be sitting on my new shoes and lift with all the armor that I can get right now. I will just be trying to upgrade my lift when I hit FL. I might try a few things that one of my buddies told me about so if it all works I will be the tallest EXT out there as of that point lol. I am going to Try to do a lot of FIRST with my EXT, so its going to look like a mini Suburban lol.

I am game for that. I might be having to take 45 days of leave anyways, and I am going to try to take 45 lol. I got 90 days as of right now so yea I got a little leave time saved up lol. But I am game for that. I want to do as much as I can while I am on the road trip lol.

Yep, we all love pictures...

I was just more letting you know that TECORE isn't a week long expedition. More like a couple nice days of wheelin' and nights under the stars. :camping:

Fun for sure but not too taxing of a trip. Even my gf could deal with the lack of civilization/ wash rooms for that time frame. Not like shes that prissy tho.

And we will def meet up sometime, either in Western MA w/ Damian or if TECORE falls inline with your trip. :flex dirty:
